Shakira practices reading with 2-year-old Milan in sweet new video

March 13, 2015

Shakira proudly shared a sweet video on her Facebook page of her adorable toddler, two-year-old Milan, learning to read. The Friday (March 13) post shows the little boy sitting in his high chair and reading Spanish words as mommy points to them on a white board.

Showing off an
impressive vocabulary for his tender years, the toddler reads out words including padel (paddle), casa (house) and gol (goal) – the latter presumably in honour of his footballer father Gerard Pique.

Sources confirmed to HOLA!, HELLO!’s sister publication, that Grammy Award-winning singer Shakira had given birth on 30 January 2014. She delivered her son in Barcelona, where the famous couple have lived for the past few years.

The official introduction to Shakira and Gerard’s new bundle of joy came on 2 February after she revealed a glimpse of the tiny tot’s left foot on Instagram, which showed Sasha’s tiny little pink toes and the white hospital band still wrapped around his ankle.

The star wrote alongside the snap: "I have Daddy’s feet, it looks like I’ve been playing football my whole life", in English and in her mother tongue, Spanish.

Sasha’s name is understood to be of Greek and Russian descent and means ‘warrior’ and ‘defendant of mankind’.
